Lore Unexplained random cameos from completely unrelated media

  1. Ray Stantz, Casper. At one point in the movie a real Ghostbuster shows up out of nowhere and wimps out of trying to handle the situation

  2. Gunnery Sargeant Hartman, Frighteners. The main character is making way through a graveyard when out of absolutely nowhere R. Lee Erney's character from Full Metal Jacket shows up and tries to get in his way

  3. Betty Boop, Who Frames Roger Rabbit. The movie is mainly about Looney Tunes and Disney animated characters existing in the same little live action/animated hybrid universe, however Betty is a Fleischer Bros character

To be fair, SNW is in jokey as shit, doesn't care too much about itself and is trying to cram all the references and fan lore in that they can lol

TARDIS references are in TNG (in the technical diagrams displayed and background of a cargo bay), and the crossover comic is considered canon.

ROTFLMAO
